Episode 217: The Perspective Problem (And Why You'll Start Your Running Program Tomorrow)
This week, we examine how our personal perspective determines whether we ruminate about the past, catastrophize about the future, or have public meltdowns with zero regard for consequences.
Plus, the brutal truth about "future discounting" and why Sacha's been planning to start training for a half marathon for four weeks running.
Main Topics
- How your natural focus (past, present, or future) shapes everything from your leadership style to your procrastination patterns.
- The sneaky way we convince ourselves that difficult tasks will somehow cost less energy "tomorrow" when we're magically more motivated, better rested, and perfectly organised
- Why zooming in for microscopic detail one day and flying high for big picture the next makes your team want to hide under their desks
- Treating your younger self with compassion (she was doing her best!) and your future self with kindness (she'll thank you for going for that run today)
